Abstract
The central idea in logic is that of consequence. In Chap. I, § 3.9 we saw how the notion of consequence for mathematical statements can be introduced on the basis of semantic ideas. The expressions of predicate logic correspond to the mathematical statements. In this chapter, we shall introduce the notion of consequence and the other semantic concepts which are necessary for its definition with the precision which is now possible.
